About Us...

It's a time for celebrating with family and friends and gift giving, so we wanted to give all of our lovely blog readers a fun download this month. We all decorated a little Christmas house that is three-dimensional once it's cut out, folded and glued together. You can make a row of them to display on a shelf or mantle or you can get a little more creative and make them into ornaments for your tree. Have fun crafting!

Happy Holidays from all of us!~ Nina, Bee, Shirley, Jennifer, Julissa and Cally

Hi Everyone! We are so honored to be featured in the latest edition of Where Women Cook magazine! We want to express our heartfelt thanks to Salli Swindell and Nate Padavick of TheyDrawandCook.com for showcasing us. Salli is a contributor to the magazine and wrote a wonderful article about our group, stemming from Julissa's brainstorm of getting us all together to form our group blog.

Here's a link to the magazine which is now on the stands and available at Barnes & Noble. (Click on the link to page 90 (it's not really 90 pages) but keep watching the page numbers go up.)

Thanks again, Salli - and thanks to our wonderful followers for your support through all of the years we've been contributing to www.welovetoillustrate.com. We hope you all have enjoyed our posts and updates and continue to visit us in the future! ~ Bee, Cally, Nina, Jennifer, Julissa & Shirley

We hope everyone is having a nice May! All of us girls here at www.WeLovetoIllustrate.com have been hard at work on various illustration projects but we thought we'd take a moment to share some of our recent news.

If you're out and about shopping, see if you can spot Nina's super fun line of

BBQ themed products!
